Phil Gapen is worrying his soul over the re-
fueal of the Governor. Treasurer and Secretary
of State to allow him to draw money for the In
sane Hospital every month for which he cannot
shov vouchers. If he presents vouchers to the
Auditor of State for only SO 900, he wants as
much more will make up the
twelfth of the appropriation-$239 GIG Go
but he does not propose to give
vouchers for the difference. That is all there is
In his claim. and the State officers say that
Gapen knows we'll they that tc allow him
TO draw cent without the necessary vouchers
is q violation Of law. Gapen has never procured
dollar for the institution without q voucher
therefore so far as the Auditor and Treasurer
of State concerned. and they with the Gov
ernor and Secretary OF State coinci6ing with
them, do not propose to let him do now.
When the last appropriation was current. if he
had presented vouchers for only two-thirds of it
the balance would be covered into the treasury,
for that is the law.
